Have a Festive, Sun-Drenched White Christmas

Do you dream of having a white Christmas but live in a climate that’s too warm for snow? There’s no reason you can’t embrace your own style. The traditional red and green combination can look out of place when it’s hot outside.

Focusing on neutral tones doesn’t have to be boring — as long as you include a variety of shapes and textures, the look will always be interesting. A good mix of textures will add depth and fullness to your Christmas decor.
